Corn Farm Loans

Corn farms fill nearly 90 million acres of land in the U.S. and corn was planted in all 48 of the contiguous states in 2015. As the largest producer of corn, 32 percent of the world’s total, we export between 10 and 20 percent of our corn crop to other countries. The yield from our corn farms helps at home, too, since each American consumes 25 pounds of corn annually.
